Alexander Varen

Knight Commander Alexander Varen is Cold, Calculated, Manipulative, Ruthless, Narcissistic. Alexander craves power and control over all he meets. He has a predator mindset. Though like most of his siblings he would do a lot for family he loves brothers and Sister as family and would go to very far lengths to protect and advance their position. He expects the highest of loyalty from his men and those close to him as he would give as long as it suited his place. He does not think he has place for love and does not go much further than causal sex.

Despite his volatile nature he has a strange sense of honour and does not break his promise or vows. So he does not often make vows and promises. Since being one of the Previous Templars who joined the Inquisition at it's roots he was given a place as Knight Commander of the White Spire.

Being the Sixth Son of a Orlesian Noble, He is a Master Diplomat and a skilled warrior. His place as Knight Commander was secured by his service as one of the Templars to side with the Inquisition and found a place next to Commander Cullen as one of the Commanders of the Templars.

Born as the Sixth son of a Minor Noble, Alexander was often overlooked because of how far down the line he was. But in his years he grew hateful of his father who seemed to only talk spitefully about him or hit him. He looked for approval from his father and his elder brothers though he was hated by his elder brothers for killing their mother in childbirth. Despite his fathers hate of him he still was afforded the training that a Normal noble child would get in words and some skill in words. When he turned thirteen he was shipped off to the Chantry and began training as a Templar. He excelled in Combat, History and several other things. He was chosen by his peers as their leader during several of the more practical challenges and in an attempt to humiliate him the Knight that trained them attempted to best Alexander one on one and regretted it when Alexander knocked him down three times in a row. Though he had to sharpen all the Swords in the Fort he said it was well worth the punishment.



After he had been given his first draft of Lyrium he began his first services to the Divine. Becoming one of her personal guards. Though he was not immune to the addictive powers of Lyrium he had a great self control and managed to make himself be able to have half doses or spread out the doses every two days rather than one. It affected his powers very little. He served the Divine as one of her Honor guard and spent some duties in the White Spire when the Divine didn't need her full guard. He hunted Apostates and became efficient at using his abilities to stop magic at it's roots.



By the Time the Conclave began he was placed in a place near Haven showing Nobility to their quarters and guarding it. After the Explosion he decided it best to stay with the Inquisition and so he did. Serving as one of Commander Cullen's Advisors. He fought against the Grey Wardens and served as apart of the Honor Guard of the Inquisitor at Halamshiral. When the Inquisition's task was done he was accepted back into the order and with a word from the Right Hand he was the Warden Commander of the White Spire.

It was time for another Mages Harrowing though this was a Special Case. The Duchess was a fully trained Spirit Healer before she was supposed to have specialised. He was told to allow her to progress faster than other mages in exchange he was awarded a place as a Baron of some land which afforded him the Title of My Lord by Non-Templar or Mages. The not doing the Harrowing was unknown to the Chantry till the Knight Vigilant had found out and ordered the Harrowing to take place and the Right Hand of the Divine's letter to the Emperor.



It had been Four Years since Alexander had taken the Place as Knight Commander of the White Spire and he was well suited to the job. He was able to pass judgement of Blood Mages without remorse and was ruthlessly efficient at hunting rogue mages when needed but he could also be fair to the mages who served and did their duty to the Circle. Though when he needed to do things himself they were usually for bad things like executions and Harrowings. He knew most of his garrison of almost Two Hundred Templars by name and most of the mages as well. He was respected and feared in equal both by Templars and Mages alike. Those who disobeyed his orders were often punished. For direct insubordination he had once stripped a Templar of Lyrium for a week and put him in a cell.



When the Woman entered the room he nodded. Alexander was a Handsome man and more so when he wore his Templar plate armor. He towered over most men in his armor and was a Skilled Swordsman. As Knight Commander it was his job to watch over Harrowings. "Duchess Guinevere." He said as he looked at the Woman of Eighteen. "It is time for your Harrowing, You know what this means correct?" He said as he watched the Woman with a serious expression on his face. He looked at the Duchess, She was beautiful, exemplary student of the Arcane.
